setting timing
im going to check my timing tommorow,i just bought the car,when i get on it,it tends to ping and have a slight hint of smoke and exhaust has a fuel type smell,the vehicle runs well though.what i am really wondering is that i see ford set the timing at 10 degrees.is that btdc or atdc?also i want to ask i see there is a pointer and a sight hole of sorts.am i trying to get the timing i want at the pointer or in the sight hole?is it going to hurt anything to take some sandpaper to the balancer?i cant see any marks on it what so ever.im sorry for all the questions i just want to make sure im doing everything correctly and to ensure i dont create new issues.thanks.

yea i saw the tech article but some of the detailed questions werent addressed in them.also when folks are adjusting the timing to 13 degrees and up are they going btdc as well or they going to atdc?aslso am i going to mess anything up on the balancer sanding the rust off to read the numbers?all i see on the balancer is a notch that looks like a line on it.
